First, the handwritten newspaper about ancient poetry.
1, related knowledge of ancient poetry
Ancient poetry is the general name of ancient Chinese poetry, which refers to the poetry works before 1840 in time. From the perspective of meter, ancient poetry can be divided into ancient poetry and modern poetry. Taking the Tang Dynasty as the boundary, the previous poems were all ancient poems, and later, the ancient poems gradually declined and died out.
Ancient poetry is also called ancient poetry or ancient style, and modern poetry is also called modern poetry. From the Book of Songs to Yu Xin in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they are all ancient poems, but the poems after the Tang Dynasty are not necessarily modern poems, specifically in the distinction between rhyme and meter.
2. The number of words and lines in classical poetry.
Classical poetry has a fixed verse and a fixed style. All ancient poems are classified according to the number of words in the poem. Four-character ancient poems are referred to as four-character ancient poems for short; Five-character ancient poems are referred to as five-character ancient poems for short; Seven-character ancient poems are referred to as seven-character ancient poems for short. Four-character poems were adopted by people as early as the Book of Songs. But it gradually declined in the Tang Dynasty, and few people wrote it. Therefore, ancient poetry is still expressed in five words and seven words.
Five-character ancient poetry is the orthodoxy of classical poetry. Many people write seven-character ancient poetry, which is not the mainstream of classical poetry. This is because it originated late. Therefore, the seven-character style is greatly influenced by modern ten-character poems. Five-character ancient poems and seven-character ancient poems are all ancient poems. There is also a kind of ancient poetry with mixed words, and the length between the lines is different and uneven.
Step 3 classify
There are many styles of ancient poetry in China, and there are different opinions on the classification and appellation of ancient poetry. Especially for Yuefu, ancient style and ballad poetry, it is even more confusing. Because, from the formal point of view, Yuefu style and ancient style are both five-character styles, and seven-character ancient poems and ancient songs are all seven-character styles, so it is difficult to distinguish them. But since ancient times, people have unanimously recognized their differences in content, technique and style, and established their names.
The second topic "Discussion and Practice" in the eighth grade of Five Poems (Volume II) said: The hut was broken by autumn wind and a song of snow-leaving the field-secretary Wu goes home are both poetic poems with free form, fluent language and elegant style. Please talk about the similarities and differences between the two poems from the aspects of sentence pattern, narrative and emotional choice. And the ninth grade (I) essay "How to read" said: "Du Fu's" The Story of the Stone "has a wide meter, which is called ancient style. .......
The name here doesn't conform to the habit. People used to call Du Fu's Caotang "an ancient poem with seven words", while Cen Can's Bai Xuege was called "a poem with seven words". The editor also clearly saw the difference between the two poems, so this problem arose.
Although Du Fu's "Three Officials and Three Farewells" are all five-character poems, people are used to calling Shi Hao officials "new Yuefu" instead of "ancient style". In order to find out this problem, we need to make a brief review of the style of ancient Chinese poetry.
